Product Description

Product Description

This is the first edition of nine fictional writings by the French painter, Odilon Redon (1840-1916). The text has been established from a transcription made by André Mellerio (the original manuscript being unavailable).

From the Publisher

This is the first volume in the MHRA's Critcial Texts series which aims to provide affordable critical editions of lesser-known literary texts that are out of copyright and are not currently in print (or are difficult to obtain).

From the Inside Flap

Odilon Redon remains one of the central figures in nineteenth-century Word and Image studies. While his lithographs and pastels are inspired by literary themes, he also collaborated with writers, most significantly, Stéphane Mallarmé, to produce illustrated editions of their work. Moreover, his book, À soi-même constitutes a landmark in nineteenth-century autobiographical writing. While the literary aspect of Redon’s work has been the focus of a body of criticism, the existence of a series of fictional writings by the painter has been overlooked.

Excerpted from Odilon Redon: Ecrits by C. Moran. Copyright © 2005. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

Odilon Redon, formé, dans une grande mesure, par la littérature — les poèmes de Baudelaire et les nouvelles de Poe — exercera, par son œuvre peinte et gravée, une influence tout aussi grande sur les écrivains, tels que Huysmans et Mallarmé. De ce fait, il se trouve au cœur du chassé-croisé entre art et littérature pendant le dernier quart du dix-neuvième siècle. De plus, écrire, pour Redon, c’est d’une certaine manière se découvrir. Si la lecture permet un « colloque muet et tranquille » avec un grand esprit, l’examen de soi comporte « une sorte de colloque fait seul » . Parler à soi-même, parler de soi-même, faire en tout cas son livre — voilà ce qui paraît essentiel à Redon, lorsque, en 1895, il écrit à Émile Bernard : « oui, un livre serait une chose à faire, nous devrions tous faire le nôtre » .
